What Parents Need to Know

About Freddy Vs. Jason

Parents need to know that this movie contains lots of nudity and some sex, lots of foul language, and characters who drink and do drugs. There is also an ambiguous date rape and a brief racial slur towards the only black character in the entire movie. People are gutted, stabbed, impaled, torn apart, sliced open, burned, crushed, and killed in just about any way that produces lots of gushing blood. But if it's any consolation to parents, all the kids who engage in stupid behavior pay for it pretty heavily.

    • Positive messages

    I love it! This was my first horror film I watched. Robert englund dominates the role of FREDDY once again. This wasn't even scary!! It had a good storyline and people were debating about making a film with the two best horror icons in the horror movie industry. Still this was a fanstatic horror film. In conclusion, Director Ronny Yu did a great job bringing a movie with the two famous horror icons for a battle royale.

    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

    silly horror film is awseome

    this film is not nightmare inducing because in my view it's actually quite funny especially the end witch is basiclly the duo kickboxing eachother god i thought i was gonna die laughing and the fact that people say there's a lot of nudity wrong sure there is some nudity but not the extreme amount as mentioned but the violence spot on the film is the second most violent of both the series. go see this and make sure you are ready to laugh

    Best Bloddy Battle

    This is one of the best films I have ever seen! I've always liked Jason more than Freddy, so I'm really glad he won. So if you want a great and bloody battle, than what are you waiting for? Go see this awesome movie!

    This was definitely NOT for children. The main characters are icons in the horror genre and the movie was mostly laughable with little dialogue but lots of gore and sex. The kids killed are the type typically killed in such slasher films; underage, drinking, doing drugs, having sex. The heroine is the typical "good girl" who is in love with the boyfriend. There is a rough moral of sin being punishable by death as is the norm in these types of films, but it's mostly just about the body count.

    Yes this movie is ok

    This movie is not that bad of a movie other than the language it has a very glisp view of a woman in a magizine with no shirt on. It is pretty hard on the blood which was my only concern I dont think any one saw the magizine part but me since I went in there trying to make the movie seem stupid after seeing the preview. I would aprove this movie to kids over 13 and day.
